was sorry not to be able to attend the Keeping Track Wildlife Event at Floral Hall on Oct. 6, which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. More than 200 people braved cold rainy weather to hear renowned tracker and naturalist Susan Morse and to enjoy her informative and often humorous slide show. She even yelped, howled, barked, and grunted out noises that sounded like the animals were right there in the room. There were tables brimming with all sorts of animal stuff — skulls, antlers, pelts, bear-clawed logs, even a stuffed bobcat and coyote. Thanks to Champlain Area Trails, Adirondack Council, NE Wilderness Trust, Outdoor Guide Elizabeth Lee, Champlain National Bank, and Dogwood Bread Company for bringing the Wildlife Event to Westport. But my time certainly wasn’t wasted, since I was at EMS class that night learning how to treat trauma patients. I feel that I should thank the many readers who’ve told me they’ve enjoyed reading about the classes. Since people seem interested, I’ll continue
writing about them from time to time till they end in mid-November. This is a side of our community life that it’s good for people to know more about, even if they can’t participate themselves. But we really do need more EMTs, so I hope the columns will encourage others to volunteer. If you think you might be interested, drop me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to help in any way I can. The other main point to make is CPR, CPR, CPR. It’s impossible to overstate how big a difference early CPR can make in saving the life of someone who’s suffered cardiac arrest. CPR has two components, rescue breathing and chest compressions. Many people are put off by the idea of mouth-to-mouth, but the trend recently is to downplay rescue breathing and emphasize the importance of chest compressions, the other component of CPR. If done properly, chest compressions can help keep oxygenated blood circulating till help arrives. But timely intervention is crucial. The bottom line is everyone should know CPR. More on that in a future column.

all is still a busy season here in our community. Hopefully many of you went to the open house of the newly renovated house on Mt. View Drive. Sam and Cheryl Blanchard have done an outstanding job of making this a real show place. If you missed it this past weekend, they will show it again on Oct. 16 and 17, between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Many happy returns to Ed Collins on his 86th birthday. Ed is one of our valuable local citizens that helps us to recall historic events that took place here in Willsboro. Peter Gload celebrated his 85th birthday this past week. His family and some extended family enjoyed a good meal at the Harmony Restaurant. Those attending included his wife Mary, son David, SheilaVanags, Jack Maloney, Paula Calkins and myself. I learned that June Lincoln’s two daughters from the west coast are here for a visit. June also just celebrated a special birthday. Hats off to a very special young 9-year-old lady, Madison Russell as she planned and with some assistance from her grandmother Dorothy Hoke
treated her parents Claudia and Clarence Russell to a very special anniversary celebration. Did you notice the new addition to the town? The Family and Friends of John Sheehan have erected an outdoor clock on the town hall lawn in his memory. They will be dedicating it Saturday, Oct. 23, at noon with a special ceremony. The public is welcome to join them. The Visitor’s Center and Heritage Museum & Adsit Cabin are now closed for the season. The Willsboro Congregational Church will be having a public supper, Oct. 28, serving chicken and biscuits. Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Judy Behan who passed away recently, she had been a long time resident of the senior housing units. Happy Birthday to: George Bierce 10/16, Rebecca Palmer 10/17, Logan Kyle Young 10/18, Joseph Ferris 10/21, Jim Kinley 10/22, Kaitlyn Arthur 10/23, Dot Jacques 10/23, Gret Grady 10/24.

irst up, the Keeseville Knights of Columbus are having their annual Harvest Dinner of a buffet style turkey and all the trimmings with all proceeds to benefit the United Way of the Adirondack Region. I want to commend the Knights not only for having this event but for donating ALL proceeds. With increased costs and limited sources of revenue it is really hard to sacrifice all income; that shows true generosity and a desire to help others. I also know at least Champlain National Bank outright purchased a bunch of tickets in order to help raise sales — again this is true generosity and I have a lot of respect for that. Congratulations to Caryn Moran foremost, Ted and Sandy Ledwith and Tom and Betty Loreman for winning the 2010 Flower Contest. Thank you and all the other participants for making our community a beautiful place. Water bills have come out and I hear there are many grumblings. My bill had problems but it is a new system so I can live with that as long as I know it is being
worked on and it is. I realize I might get hit with a bigger bill for usage than I used to as well. In my school we are learning about how to feed the thirsty as a basic human duty. I can’t help but parallel that experience with this situation. While money is tight and I hate when I have to spend more, than before I realize there are people who drink contaminated water that is slowly killing them in this world. There are people who are grateful for a thimble full of muddy water to drink. I have water being sent to my exterior hose, three inputs into my bathroom for shower, sink and toilet, a line into my basement for my washer and a line into my kitchen sink. Water is being sent everywhere in my house for my convenience. There are people who have to walk great distances to get the water they need and must physically carry all they have to use. What we have is a luxury far beyond our needs, and until the day the playing field in this world is leveled I will not complain about what I am blessed with.

heard from a reliable source at the transfer station that more than a few people are asking about all the digging going on in downtown Essex. In case you don’t know, it’s a sewer system for the hamlet. The street work is the collection lines going in, and across from the fire house will be the treatment plant. This morning the excavators were across from the Cupola House on Main Street, pounding and digging, with dump trucks unloading sand beneath the tangle of overhead power lines. They’ve hit rock, which has slowed progress. Although the trench runs close to the roadside trees, I noticed no roots getting cut, and figured they must grow primarily under the adjacent lawns. Roots need air, and there’s not much air under the road. I was waiting for the ferry in Charlotte last week and saw an unusual vessel making its way north. It was a long, low passenger ship named “Niagara Prince” on its
way to Burlington. I studied it with binoculars as it sliced through the waves; I haven’t seen a sizable craft on the lake (other than ferries) since fuel barges stopped calling at Port Douglas more than 25 years ago. At home, I looked up the “Niagara Prince” and found it’s 175 feet long, 40 feet wide, and draws only 6 feet of water. There are 40 cabins with room for 78 passengers. It was built to travel narrow waterways like the Champlain Canal, and its itineraries take it to all over the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence and Mississippi River. This particular boat has a retractable pilot house so it can navigate under the low bridges and locks on the Erie Canal. We finally got a killing frost, the latest it’s occurred in my memory. Amy has been tearing her garden apart, and now all she has in it are carrots. I still have lettuce and spinach coming, and a kitchen counter covered with ripening tomatoes.

fect time to invest in going green. Just as the state and federal government is extending incentives to homeowners, similar subsidies are currently available to help local governments, schools, and other public or nonprofit institutions to install solar panels, heating systems, and other energy efficient appliances. The subsidies are there for good reason. The jump to By Matt Bosley greener technology usually requires a large up-front investment. Unlike most homeowners, however, municipalities have more options when it comes to investment capital. Even if it’s necessary to borrow, the savings gained by a green upgrade can often offset the cost within a few years. These days we’re all tightening our belts, and since our local governments can’t seem to crawl out from under the many unfunded mandates placed on them by the state, why not get them to invest in energy independence? What better way to develop a model for sustainability and demonstrate truly improved efficiency in government?

alloween is swiftly approaching, and with it, bags of sugary sweets that are waiting to be handed out to eager children in their costumed finery. You may want to be particularly careful of any purchases of chocolates you have made. Although candy in general is not a recommended treat for your pets, chocolate can be particularly dangerous — sometimes even fatal. According to a recent article in US News and World Report, pets who consume chocolate can experience vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and urination, irregular heartbeat, tremors, seizures and even Skipper death. The culprit behind these symptoms is a substance in chocolate called theobromine. Not all chocolate poses the same risk, because different types of chocolate have varying concentrations of theobromine. The semisweet and milk chocolate in many favorite treats sport a higher concentration of the substance than white chocolate, for example. If your pet consumes a significant amount of chocolate, you should call a veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. Our featured pet this week is Skipper, a Maltese/Pomeranian-mix who wears a permanent smile on his perky face. Skipper has a lot of energy for a little guy and loves the opportunity to run around and play. He’s very affectionate and gets along well with most everyone he meets. Despite his energy, Skipper is generally easygoing and doesn’t get too hyper when he is enthusasitic. He would make a great addition to any family who has time to give him the attention and activity he needs. You can come to the NSCPCA and meet Skipper any time during open hours, or at another time by appointment. Call (802) 9628604 to talk to one of our shelter staff to set up a time, or to learn more about this frisky fellow.

ith many sectors of the economy just beginning to recover from the recent recession, what better time for our local government to invest in infrastructure that will not only save money but also assist the fight on global warming? A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of reporting on a presentation in Whallonsburg by Jerry Jenkins, author of “Climate Change in the Adirondacks.” What struck me most about the discussion that evening was not the apocalyptic shift in temperatures predicted to occur in the next several decades, but rather the strategies Jenkins recommended for individuals and families to reduce their carbon footprints. The simplest and least criticized of steps, Jenkins noted, is thrift. If people make a conscious effort to buy less, to travel less, to heat their homes less, it stands to reason they will reduce the amount of energy they use and the amount of carbon dioxide that’s produced. Frugality is green, and, as they say, “green is the new black.” Spending less energy almost always means spending less money. If local government is serious about lowering taxes in the long run, now is the per-

“Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence and where to.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
W
hile the “Mozart Effect” has been largely dismissed, there is a significant and irrefutable body of evidence that music does enhance a child’s learning capacity, the “Mozart Effect” aside. Regular music lessons have been shown to improve language skills, speech, memory, mathematics, attention span and understanding vocal inflection. Musical training improves the ability to detect specific sounds, which enables a person to become more efficient at learning language. Children exposed to musical training are more aware of changes in speech which in turn makes them more proficient at phonologic spelling, vocabulary acquisition, and understanding the emotional meaning behind speech. This emotional intelligence may be especially important as social and emotional intelligence are generally considered foundational pieces of human happiness. So how can all children get an opportunity to be taught music? As parents are working more hours and generally making less money, time and money resources may not be available for music lessons. Private music lessons can cost $25 an hour and up and when the financial costs are coupled with the time commitment, the calculus may become untenable. Northwestern professor of physiology, Nina Kraus found in her research children
who spent as little as 20 minutes a day in musical learning had significant changes in their nervous systems and more specifically, the way the brain responded to sound, be it music or speech. What is a By Scot Hurlburt parent to do that cannot afford music lessons and may not have the time to take their child to lessons? Most schools have music programs that often include individual instruction and there are a variety of musical Web sites that provide lessons on musical exploration and theory. One of the most recommended sites is ToonsTunes. ToonsTunes is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 14. It is a virtual world where children can explore music, create music and share their musical creations with others. The site resembles other sites that are attractive to children and feature virtual characters like Avatars. Children can explore different rooms and one of these rooms is a music studio where children can experiment with playing drums, guitars or piano and can then record their original musical creations. They accomplish these creations by utilizing the “mixomatic.” This tool allows children to control the beat and the style, rock, jazz, country and western, etc. The fact that music can enhance a child’s ability to learn simply adds another layer of satisfaction. Remember, all kids count.

Consider CO2 credits
County supervisors can do better
To the editor: A possible solution to ADK community financial woes: Follow the Chicago Carbon Exchange (CCX; check out owners and why *cap & trade is pushed so hard) model to generate income with our 6,000,000 acres of trees. Trees need CO2 to thrive, so negotiate with urbane areas to accept their CO2 for a price. In exchange, trees produce oxygen, which we could sell to the fresh air, oxygen deprived in the ever growing, undrained swamp known as Washington (or Albany for that matter). *Selling and buying carbon credits, invented by some of the aforementioned inhalers of too much swamp gas. Susan C. Sherman Westport
To the editor: You should have had a flood of letters about local moves of the Board of Supervisors of Essex County. First, they vote an across-the-board raise for themselves and all county officials when the State of NY is broke. Second, they refuse to raise the salaries of our community college even though they are already underpaid. Last week, we learn that they are planning to privatize our Horace Nye Home. This surely means that costs will go up and service and competence will go down. The old county home in Whallonsburg was once self-sufficient with a large acreage and accompanying healthy farm produce. It won't be long before we shall be forced to do “corvee,” the forced building of our own roads. I believe our supervisors can do better.
AuSable Forks Craft Fair a success To the editor: On behalf of the Committee for the Annual Christmas Toy Drive in Au Sable Forks, I wish to thank numerous vendors throughout the North Country Region who participated in the first annual Fall Craft Fair & Bake Sale hosted on Oct. 2 at the Town of Jay Community Center. I also wish to extend my appreciation to members of the community as well as surrounding communities for their attendance in making the craft fair/bake sale a success; to our local media outlets, The Valley News, Columnist Deanna Santor (Lake Placid News), Plattsburgh Press-Republican, WPTZ (for advertising the event); to those who made generous donations; volunteers; The Au Sable Forks Ambulance Service; Town of Jay Supervisor Randall Douglas for reserving the gymnasium to host the craft fair/bake sale; and to the Au Sable Forks Fire Department for providing seating to our vendors. All proceeds generated will benefit the Christmas Toy Drive as well as the local food shelves for the Townships of Jay and Black Brook.

Reward for information in Wadhams To the editor: On or about Monday night, September 27th our small cat Percy (the one with no tail) was shot in the hind leg with a small caliber bullet. He has lost the leg and is now recovering. We are both saddened and angered that someone would harm an innocent animal this way and would like to know who did it and why. If you know anything about this, please call us at 962-4514 or Deputy Sheriff Rice at 873-6321. We are offering a reward for information. Matt Foley and Susie Becker, Wadhams

www.thevalleynews.org The open floor plan of the 50-by-50-foot workshop allows Scott and Byron to move furniture and fabric freely while working on upholstery, but it also lends itself quite well to adaptation as an ever-changing performance space. “We like to change it up for different bands because it may sound different one way or another,” said Scott, who has long been interested in set design. “We really strive to create an atmosphere that is perfectly suited to a certain performance.” The artists, too, appreciate the quality acoustics and intimate setting they find at Recovery Lounge, said Scott, which is why, usually, artists and musicians actively seek it out as a performance venue. “Ninety percent of the time, they find me,” he said. “They spread the word among their musician friends.” Many times, Scott said, he regretfully has to turn away bands due to over-scheduling, or simply in an effort to maintain variety. “We don’t like to keep repeating the same acts,” he said. Still, some longtime favorites sometimes make their way back to the Recovery Lounge. Such is the case for the next performance Oct. 16, at 8 p.m., which features the experimental Vermont-based folk trio Farm in their third appearance there. The group, known for their habit of rotating use of each other ’s instruments from song to song, will perform songs from their newly released album, “Sat., Cloudy, Calm, 36 degrees F, 10:44 p.m.” Monsterbuck, a trio featuring Scott, Byron, and singer/songwriter Chris Kowanko, also of Upper Jay, will open the show, which

a performance space, that compares to few others found in the North Country. The Upper Jay Art Center, more commonly known as The Recovery Lounge, regularly hosts live music and theatre shows throughout the year, and has done so for more than five years running thanks to its founders, brothers Scott and Byron Renderer. The duo purchased the building 10 years ago to house their business, Upper Jay Upholstery, but it soon took on an additional role. “We started playing concerts there,” recalled Scott, who has long played in bands with his brother and business partner. “A lot of people showed up, so we just kept doing it.” Scott, who also has a strong interest in theatre, began using the space for local productions as well, and it wasn’t long before the Musician and business-owner Scott Renderer sits among the dozens of furniture items being servRenderers applied for nonprofit status to iced at Upper Jay Upholstery.

PumpkinFest gives lift to Life Flight SARANAC LAKE — For 21 years, North Country Life Flight has provided emergency medical flights to residents and visitors of the area free of charge. Thanks to events like PumpkinFest, held Oct. 9, at Mount Pisgah Ski Center, that tradition can continue. Hundreds attended the annual festival, enjoying rides, games, crafts, hay rides, face and hair painting, plus great food and music. Also included were sales of baked goods and local crafts, and the Cake Walk, a popular attraction featuring the culinary artistry of local chefs and restaurants. The event provided a big financial lift to North Country Life Flight, just a week after the organization celebrated its 21st year in existence. “We fly critically ill patients to get medical treatment,” said Mary Jane Connors, president of North Country Life Flight, “and we want them to be as comfortable as possible because we arrive on the worst day of their life.” Based out of Saranac Lake Regional Airport, North Country Life Flight utilizes helicopters from the New York State Police aviation unit to serve the area of New York north and east of Utica. Its main expenses are providing medical equipment, medications, and a combination of paid and volunteer medical personnel who are nationally-certified. “There’s been a 40 percent increase in the number of rescues just in the past year,” said Connors, “so the demand for medical transport is high.” The nonprofit organization has hosted PumpkinFest for the past 12 years, one of a few annual fundraisers it relies on to meet its costs and provide service to patients for free. “What’s neat about this event is the children in the community come as volunteers,”
said Connors, noting how dozens of students from schools throughout the Tri-Lakes area come to help at PumpkinFest. “Last night we had members of the Saranac Lake football team here to set up.” New York State Police attended PumpkinFest, providing Child Identification cards for the many children that attended. The Saranac Lake Fire Department had its 75foot snorkel truck on display. Chuck Pandolph, a flight nurse for North Country Life Flight for the past 20 years, said the strong turnout at PumpkinFest year after year shows how much the community sees a need to support their rescue service. “People give back to us because we give to them,” he said. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors.” “They feel that, not only is it fun to come here, but it’s important to come here,” said North Country Life Flight pilot Steve Orman in agreement. “We’ve been around here long enough that if there’s not a member of their family we’ve flown, there’s a friend or a neighbor. North Country Life Flight has flown more than 2,000 patients, Orman said, and with many of them having extended families, the emergency service has a widespread impact. Keeseville resident Jan Washburn was on a flight nearly five years ago as a patient. Today, she serves as a regular volunteer for North Country Life Flight. “Since they helped me, I try to help them,” Washburn said, “to help them be ready for the next patient.” Sid Ward, Jr., a resident of Jay, was selling some of his hand-crafted wood cutting boards at PumpkinFest, using the proceeds to benefit North Country Life Flight. “I’ve had several friends that have been flown,” he said, noting how, as a member of the Rotary Club of AuSable Forks, he helped organize some of the first fundraising events for Life Flight. “It’s a great operation.” Those interested in making a contribution to North Country Life Flight may do so by

Halloween fun run Oct. 30
GUESTVIEWPOINT Sexual preference a private matter
F
or the record — the homosexuals we have known would, for the most part, agree with the statement by Paladino noted below; sadly, Carl Paladino speaks the awkward truth. No man chooses the homosexual life — and no man would wish it on his child. And there are kids who are moved this way and that by self-doubt and little more. What’s more interesting is the concept of norm. It is quite normal for homophobes to experience the gay feeling from which they run with such vigor. Those who scream the loudest may be the most in denial. Try that. Our weird politicians seem to know this. They live it. Regardless, I know no one who would choose homosexuality, given the choice, and I see no reason to encourage self-doubt in the young by any means at all. And this is what Carl Paladino is saying, as far as I can tell from this account. On another level, this is private stuff — and should not involve the state. There are many reasons. No two men are alike. Respect and tolerance should rule. Nothing more. To suggest that marriage is appropriate for same-sex relations makes little sense to me. I believe marriage is set up for kids — and little more. If the same-sex couple wants kids, society should respect this — and help with recognition. It need not be marriage. Civil process can license the
parent of any sex. Religious process is not the state’s business. Who can argue with this statement: “I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don’t want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option — it isn’t.” It is not pretty, it is not nice — but is it not true? What sort of governor does the state need now? One who tells all segments what they want to hear — or a man who simply lets the chips fall where they may? Given the GAY FORCE in society today, it’s refreshing to hear a bit from the other side. One thing is clear. He’s law abiding — and says what he feels. The man will get my vote. And we have no objection to a homosexual couple or individual raising a child. A gay parent is better than no parent. Sexual preference is a private matter in which the state should play no role.

Knapp. Alvin loved the outdoors and spent many color-filled falls walking and hunting in the beautiful North Country. He was a mechanic and master welder at Northern Sanitation from 1976 to 2008, where he was highly regarded and made many friends that he kept in contact with even after his retirement. Calling hours will be held Wednesday Oct. 13th from 4to 7 p.m.at W.M. Marvin’s Sons Inc. in Elizabethtown, NY.

and Jane’s close friends Sid and Kay Miller. (I would shorten as follows: “he and Jane moved to Keene Valley where they built The Mountaineer in 1975 with close friends Sid and Kay Miller”) His wife Jane died in October of 1991. George served on several boards including the Keene Central School Board and the Keene Valley Neighborhood House. He was a mediator and a volunteer for Hospice. George went through life with vim and vigor always looking forward with an eye toward the next adventure. He had a unique blend of intelligence, integrity and grit and was the ultimate family man who loved nothing more than being with his family hiking, skiing, bird hunting, splitting wood, playing tennis, fishing, burning brush, reading….. George is survived by his partner of 18 years, Shirley Twitchell and his sons Vincent and his wife Barbara McClelland, George K. McClelland Jr and his partner Barbara Jean Reed, Scott E. and his wife Tracy Smith McClelland and Duncan and his wife Harriet McClelland. He was particularly proud of his grandchildren Scott, Mathew, Sophie, Megan, Jane, Zander, Madeline and Merritt. Aservice will be held at the Keene Valley Congregational Church in Keene Valley at 4:30pm with a celebration immediately following at the Keene Valley Country Club. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “George K. McClelland Trust” at Adirondack Community Trust PO Box 288 Lake Placid, NY 12943. This fund will be used to support charitable causes in the Adirondack community.

Owens pays visit to Whallonsburg By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com WHALLONSBURG — Politics was the topic of discussion at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall Oct. 9 as Congressman Bill Owens stopped in to meet with local residents. The town-hall-style meeting, sponsored by the Essex County Democratic Committee, drew roughly 40 residents from Essex and neighboring towns to hear Owens address questions directly from his constituents. “Bill believes meetings like these are beneficial for the attendees and himself for the same reason — he represents a big district, about 14,000 square miles, and there aren’t a plethora Democratic Congressman Bill Owens responds of opportunities to visit with folks from every to a question at a town-hall-style meeting at the county weekly,” said Sean Magers, spokesman Whallonsburg Grange Hall Oct. 9. for Owens. “Meetings like these provide the opPhoto by Matt Bosley portunity for Bill to stay informed about the issues that matter most to Essex County.” Questions to Owens touched on a wide-range of topics, the foremost of which dealt with economic policy and the need to address unemployment. “The critical piece missing from the economy is demand,” Owens explained, noting there is still more to be done to encourage growth of demand for American goods and services. One thing Owens said he would like to see is the institution of an “infrastructure bank,” a federal program backed by President Obama that would use billions in federal dollars to encourage private investment, both of which would be used to fund several infrastructure projects in the next 10 years or more. Owens also pointed to a letter he co-signed and sent to leaders in the House of Representatives offering what he called a “compromise” in regards to the tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of this year. Whereas Republicans have called for extending all the tax cuts and Obama has proposed extending only those cuts that would benefit individuals making less than $200,000 annually, the
Valley News - 13
plan Owens offered is to support Obama’s plan while additionally extending current tax rates for certain capital gains taxes and a one-year extension for individual and joint filers with $500,000 in yearly income. Owens said his plan would be more favorable to preserving income for the middle class, a necessary step to increasing demand. “We need to do something about the Chinese currency,” he added, noting an effort to allow more tariffs for Chinese goods, thereby raising the value of Chinese money in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Owens claimed such a program could restore as many as 500,000 American jobs, despite potnetially raising the cost of some goods to American consumers. In the meantime, Owens said, the U.S. should focus more on an investment in infrastructure, especially clean energy projects like one he’s supported for a biomass power plant to supply energy to the Fort Drum Army Base near Watertown. That project, he said, could add as many as 100 permanent jobs to the area. “It also takes Fort Drum off the grid,” he said, “and from a national security perspective, that’s very important.” Other topics included the future of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan, to which Owens said he favors the assessment of military leaders to wait until early 2011 to reassess the need for continued presence there. Essex resident Katherine Preston asked Owens if, as a member of the House Agriculture Committee, he would support further development of a food distribution network that would favor local farms. “It’s interesting, because nobody ever talks about farming as a national security issue,” Owens said in response. “The control of our food supply is extremely important.” Owens said leaders of the Agriculture Committee are working to have a new farm bill ready for consideration in 2011, well in advance of 2012 when the current farm bill is set to expire.

Board of Elections prepares for big night By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — With primary elections out of the way, officials at the Essex County Board of Elections are in high gear to prepare for the Nov. 2 general elections. Elections commissioners Derinda Sherman and Robert Pell-DeChame met with the Essex County Board of Supervisors last week and reported relatively positive results from the Sept. 15 primary. “We had no machine issues,” said Sherman. “We had a few hiccups with inspectors and paperwork but all in all, it went off pretty smoothly.” This year’s primary was the first election in Essex County to use the new opti-scan computerized voting machines, recently mandated for all elections in New York State. The machines require voters to mark a paper ballot. The ballots are fed into the machines, which “reads” them and tabulates the votes for each candidate. Sherman noted concerns regarding the ballots for the upcoming general election, however, which are missing finger-pointer graphics for some local elections to make up for the inclusion of all nine candidates for New York governor. “We are concerned about voters, what they are going to do and what they are going to see,” said Sherman. Sherman said she and DeChame petitioned the State Board of Elections to modify the ballot before Nov. 2, but some absentee ballots may not be changed in time. “Military ballots had to go out on Friday [Oct. 1] so we spent the afternoon sending a ballot that we knew was going to be wrong,” said Sherman. “It’s out of our control. It is a state timing problem with the legislature and the laws that they have not changed.” Once the ballots are corrected, Sherman said, sample copies will be distributed to each town hall so voters can see the ballot before they come to vote. County supervisors requested quicker reporting of election results, noting how results from the primary elections were not fully reported until shortly before midnight. “The voters want to know the tally on election night,” said Board of Supervisors chair Randy Douglas. “They can’t wait to get on-line and see it in the papers’ or (the County’s) Web site.” “We figured out a way to get it uploaded on the Web site a little earlier,” Sherman said. “When it came in we had a lag time of 10 minutes or so and I think we have figured out a way to improve that time.” Unlike in elections past, when election workers called in unofficial results from the polling sites, the ballots and memory cards from the voting machines must be returned to Elizabethtown and processed before results can be reported. “They can call them in but the state frowns on posting those to the Web site,” said Sherman, noting it was confusion among election inspectors in a few towns that caused an unnecessary delay for the primary. “What we are doing is we are going to meet with [them] and go over the paperwork,” said Sherman, “so hopefully they will be faster with that and there won’t be the delays on getting their supplies packed up.” In the meantime, the Board of Elections is extending its office hours for certain days leading up to Nov. 2. in order to better accommodate absentee ballot requests The office will be open until 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, and Wednesday, Oct. 27. On two saturdays, Oct. 23 and 30, the Board of Elections will be open 9 a.m. to noon. Absentee ballots are available to all registered voters who will be out of Essex County for the general election. Applications for such ballots must be postmarked no later than Oct. 26. An emergency absence can be handled by a voter making an application in person, or through a representative, at the Board of Elections office as a late as Nov. 1. All applications must be signed by the voter. The Board of Elections is also recruiting registered voters in both parties to serve as inspectors, which are paid an hourly rate, plus mileage. Inspectors assigned to work at polls outside their voting district will be allowed to vote via absentee ballot. More information is available by calling 873-3474.

Owens says ‘no’ to debate with Doheny By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Efforts by Denton Publications to organize a debate between the candidates for New York’s 23rd Congressional District have proven fruitless as incumbent Democrat Bill Owens has refused to participate. Invitations were sent last week to campaign representatives for Owens and his opponent, Watertown businessman Matt Doheny, who is running on the Republican and Independence lines, to participate in a Denpubs-sponsored debate planned for Oct. 25, at AuSable Valley Central School. Both candidates were invited to suggest alternative dates and locations for the debate, but Owens chose not to do so as he turned down the invitation. “We regret that we have to decline this invitation,” replied Owens campaign spokesman Clay Schroers in an Oct. 11 email. “We have received a number of debate requests and simply are not able to accomodate all of them.” A followup e-mail suggesting alternative dates and requesting additional comment did not receive a response from Schroers by
the time this article was printed. Doheny, meanwhile, also said he’s not available for the Oct. 25 debate, but campaign representative Alison Power said Doheny “would really like to participate” on a different day. Both candidates were informed they would be offered the chance to be featured in a meet-the-candidate event should their opponent choose not to participate in the debate. To that end, Doheny has agreed to appear Oct. 22, 1-2 p.m. at the Essex County Board of Supervisors chambers. Members of the public are welcome to come with questions for the congressional candidate. As of Oct. 12, only two debates have been announced to which both Doheny and Owens are committed. The first will be taped Oct. 14 on “Public Eye” a public affairs program on WPBS-TV, Watertown’s Public Broadcasting station. It will air 9 p.m. Oct. 15. A pre-taped Oct. 15 debate will air 8 p.m. on ABC’s Syracuse-based affiliate WSYR-TV Newschannel 9 with a simulcast on Watertown’s ABC affiliate, WWTI Channel 50. WSYR hosted the only public debate last year that featured all three major candidates in the race.

N AT O N A L breast cancer awareness MONTH These sponsors proudly support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast Cancer Q & A
Q: How common is breast cancer in the United States?
Provided by National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Q: What is advanced breast cancer?
A: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, aside from skin cancer.
Q: What is cancer? A: Cancer is a disease that occurs when cells become abnormal and divide without control or order. Each organ in the body is made up of various kinds of cells. Cells normally divide in an orderly way to produce more cells only when they are needed. This process helps keep the body healthy. If cells divide when new cells are not needed, they form too much tissue. This extra tissue, called a tumor, can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. Eighty percent of all breast tumors are benign. They can usually be removed, and, in most cases, they don’t come back. Most important, the cells in benign tumors do not invade other tissues and do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign breast tumors are not life-threatening. Malignant tumors are cancer. The cancer cells grow and divide out of control, invading and damaging nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells can also break away from the original tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system. This is how breast cancer spreads and forms secondary tumors in other parts of the body. This spread of cancer is called metastasis.
Q: What is breast cancer? A: Breast cancer is cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare.
A: Breast cancer is considered advanced when it has spread from its original site to distant areas of the body. Physicians will look at a number of factors to determine the stage of breast cancer, including tumor size, lymph node involvement, and whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. Once the stage of the disease is determined, there are two different ways advanced breast cancer can be classified: locally advanced or metastatic.
Q: What is locally advanced breast cancer? A: The term locally advanced breast cancer indicates that the cancer is large (greater than 2 inches) or may have spread to other nearby tissue, such as underarm lymph nodes. Locally advanced breast cancer is considered Stage III, and if it is operable, it is referred to as Stage IIIA.
Q: What is metastatic breast cancer? A: The term metastatic breast cancer indicates that the cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body such as bone, lung, liver, or brain.
Treatmentsf or Breast Cancer
depending on hormonal involvement in the growth of the tumor. Local treatments such as breast surgery and radiation therapy are focused on the breast itself to remove or destroy the cancer cells confined to the breast. Systemic treatment such as chemotherapy aims to destroy the cancer cells that may have spread throughout the body. Newer experimental treatments include biologically targeted therapies which currently, are only available through clinical trials. A patient and his/her physician will choose the treatment that is right for him/her, based on the location and extent of the cancer, patient’s age and preferences, and the risks and benefits of each treatment. Surgery may be performed to remove the cancerous tumor, and may also be performed to allow for diagnostic testing of tumor tissue. Radiation therapy uses penetrating beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles to kill and hinder the growth of cancer cells. In metastatic disease, radiation is most commonly used to treat symptoms in breast cancer that has spread to the bone. Chemotherapy may be used if it is believed the breast cancer will not respond to hormonal treatment. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs that target and destroy rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. It is frequently used in metastatic breast cancer and used in locally advanced breast cancer to shrink the tumor and make it operable. Hormonal therapy can be used to slow the growth, spread, and recurrence of breast cancer. If the cancer is found to be of the type that may be sensitive to estrogen, hormonal treatment may be able to keep estrogen from helping the cancer cells to grow and divide. The presence of estrogen receptors (a message-carryingprotein that may stimulate tumor growth) in the cancerous tumor is the best way to predict a woman’s response to hormonal treatment.
Q: What are the treatments for breast cancer? A: The basic treatment choices for breast cancer are surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, which may or may not be included in the treatment regimen,

program that highlights potential abnormalities. The images are then displayed on a screen with markers – indicating areas that the radiologist should scrutinize.
MAMMOGRAMS SAVE LIVES. Early detection is key to successful breast cancer treatment. Mammograms help to detect breast abnormalities, often before a woman is able to actually feel a lump in her breast. Having an annual mammogram can help detect cancer in its earliest stages – when it is most treatable. At Elizabethtown Community Hospital, digital mammogram technology is used in conjunction with computer-aided detection. Digital images are scanned by a computer
Digital mammograms offer particular benefits; and the radiology department at ECH helps ensure patient comfort. Radiologists are able to manipulate digital images (enlarging, making them brighter or darker, changing contrast, etc.) to see particular areas more clearly – something they cannot do with mammograms on film. Digital images are easily stored so that radiologists can use them for future comparison.
Appointments are typically available within days; with many same-daya ppointments. The department uses a soft MammoPad for each exam – a small cushion that provides a more comfortable experience.

ACAP project competing for $25,000 grant By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — A few daily mouseclicks from caring residents could be the difference in helping one local organization support young families in need. Adirondack Community Action Programs is encouraging everyone to get online and cast their votes as the organization competes for a $25,000 grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project. On Oct. 1, ACAP’s HUGS project was one of 300 projects competing selected to participate in the Pepsi Refresh Project, which allows the public to vote on which projects they'd like to see funded most. Only the projects that finish in the top 10 for votes throughout the month are eligible for the $25,000 grant. “We started out 179th in the ranking for the funds, and now we’re 89th.” said Marge Garcia, development coordinator at ACAP.
“You can tell a lot of people have been voting.” The HUGS project provides infant swaddles for parents of newborns across New York State. The swaddles are specially designed to help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which claims the lives of more than 2,000 babies in the United States each year. ACAP has supported the the project since it was introduced in May as an initiative of the statewide Community Action Angels Network, of which ACAP is a member. In the past several months, more than 200 swaddles have been distributed statewide. “We thought it would be great to help distribute the swaddles through our agency,” said Marge Garcia, development coordinator at ACAP, noting how swaddles have been distributed through ACAP’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Garcia heard the Pepsi Refresh Project mentioned on local television and radio sta-
tions recently, and applied for the grant. The $25,000 grant will allow ACAP to contribute between 2,000 and 3,000 swaddles to the HUGS program, which will distribute them to families throughout New York State. “We will also give out brochures about health and safety for infants that includes SIDS education,” Garcia said. In September, the Pepsi Refresh Project awarded a $250,000 grant to Hannah’s Hope Fund, an Upstate New York-based organization raising money to research a cure for giant axonal neuropathy. The fund is named for Hannah Sames of Rexford, N.Y., who was diagnosed with the rare neurological disorder at age 3, and whose mother, Lori, was originally from Plattsburgh. Other local causes are also participating in the Pepsi Refresh Project this month. The Joint Council for Economic Opportunity of Clinton and Franklin Counties is also seeking a $25,000 grant to purchase shelving and industrial freezers for its food shelf.
“We’re not really competing,” said Garcia, noting how the organizations are working together to get their causes voted into the top 10. “The more people we get to vote for these projects, the better.” To support ACAP’s HUGS program or the other projects seeking funds through Pepsi Refresh, log on to www.refresheverything.com and register. Registrants can cast one vote daily for any cause of their choice until Oct. 31. The direct link to vote for the HUGS project is www.refresheverything.com/angelshugsproject.

Citizens rescue stranded boaters By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ESSEX — A potential disaster on Lake Champlain turned into a memorable outing for a Vermont man as a handful of Essex residents came to his rescue. Michael Jackman, a business owner from New Haven, Vt., was treating four of his friends to a day on the lake Sept. 26 when the engine failed on his 22-foot center console motorboat, leaving them suddenly stranded in Whallons Bay. Jackman’s boat was one of very few out on the lake that day as the boating season was nearing a close. Waves swelling to four or five feet pushed the drifting boat toward the rocky shoreline. “I’ve been living on the lake for 47 years, and it was as rough as I’d seen it,” said Wayne Bailey, an Essex resident who organized efforts to help Jackman and his crew. “All I did was what anybody else would have done, which was to try to find a boat to tow the disabled boat to safety,” said Bailey, a retired State Police trooper. Bailey was cleaning firearms at his home on Lakeshore Drive with his friend, Frank Walls, early in the afternoon Sept. 26 when he received a call from his neighbor, Andy Dolan, alerting him to the distressed vessel. “Frank and I drove down to the John McBride property,” Bailey recalled. “The boat was only a couple hundred yards offshore.” Bailey and others called to Jackman, encouraging him to come and tie the boat to McBride’s dock. Jackman and his friends, all experienced boaters, used two anchors to “crawl” toward the dock and threw a tie-line to their rescuers. “We didn’t know anybody, and they didn’t know us,” Jackman said. “If we wouldn’t have tied to that dock, we would have been on the rocks.” With the boat tied safely to the dock, Bailey went a couple miles north to the Essex Marina, where he found Tom and Sue Martini, an Essex Couple who happened to have their boat out that day. “They were going to take that boat to Burlington within the hour and put it away for next summer,” said Bailey, “but they said they were more than happy to help a boat with a damaged motor.” It took just 20 minutes for the Martinis to reach Jackman’s boat and tow it to the Essex Marina for maintenance. “In two to three hours, they had us on dry dock,” said Jackman. “Everybody was so nice, and they wouldn’t take a dime.” Jackman and his friends drove back to Vermont that evening, returning the next day with a second boat to help guide Jackman’s boat back to Basin Harbor for the winter. “It all just came together so nicely,” Jackman said. “What could have been a disastrous day turned into a wonderful event.” Jackman said he is extremely thankful to the kind strangers in Essex who helped him and hopes to return to Essex next year to treat them to a night on the town. But next time, he said, he’ll come over on the ferry. 83979

Patriots race past Red Storm By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — Amanda Hamilton celebrated her birthday with two goals, and the Patriots were able to turn back Saranac Lake 3-0 in CVAC girls soccer Oct. 8. AuSable Valley used speed and depth to improve their record to 8-0-1, despite playing their third game in just four days. Two key players, Megan Colby and Rachel Knapp, were sitting out with injury. “The kids are tired, but they played well,” said Patriots head coach Keith Raines. “I think our ball movement was good, and so was our passing.” The Red Storm were able to hold off AuSable Valley until 32 minutes into the first half when Sam Ashline centered a thru-ball to Hamilton. Hamilton out-raced both sweepers and fired one in from 13 yards out. “Saranac Lake played a great game.” Raines added. “They came out and pressured us from the start, but fortunately we were able to overcome their pressure and keep the ball moving. We created some good chances for ourselves and took advantage of them.” “We were trying to contain their offense and slow down the game,” said Saranac Lake head coach Samantha Betters. “I think we did pretty well with that for the first 25 minutes of the game, and [the Patriots] were just able to capitalize on their speed.” Hamilton would tally another score 11 minutes into the second half, heading in a corner kick by Ashline. Ashline added a goal of her own seven minutes later when a long boot by fullback Alexis Coolidge took an unexpected bounce over Red Storm goalkeeper Regan Keiffer, who had come out to make a play on the ball. Keiffer was otherwise solid for Saranac Lake with 10 saves, occasionally braving dangerous collisions to foil the Patriots’ tries. AuSable Valley finished with a 13-3 shot advantage. Saranac Lake midfielder Shannon Muldowny and forwards Hope Laramee and Chelsea LaFountain also put forth strong efforts in the loss, which sets the Red Storm back to 5-5-1 for the season. As for the undefeated Patriots, who have been ranked in the top 20 for Class B teams statewide, Raines said their main challenge now is to stay mentally prepared and remember to take things one game at a time. After traveling to Beekmantown Oct. 15, they finish the regular season with matches against Seton Catholic, Lake Placid, and Moriah. "At the end of the year, we’ll see what our record will end up being," he said. "For now, we just need to stay focused and play the kind of game we know we can play."

Manitoba or Bust!
W
hen I tell people I am heading to Manitoba for a guided bow hunt the response I normally get isn’t “Where in Manitoba?” it’s more like “Where is Manitoba?” “I don’t really know,” is my patent response — and that’s not all that far from the truth. I know it is many, many miles away — a fact that will surely be driven home as my hunting chum, Mike Fenoff, and I take to the highway this week for the 1,900mile ride. My concern isn’t so much the 1,900-mile ride, but more the 19,000-mile ride back .... or so it will most certainly seem.
October 16, 2010
But alas, life’s not about the destination, it’s about the ride — as Peter Fonda so aptly put it in the 1969 flick “Easy Rider.” Fonda is one cool cat — and those are some super words to live by. Which is totally why I opted to drive 30-plus hours over the five-hour flight. Okay, not really. Are you nuts? You actually think I’d chose 30-plus hours of staring at pavement and brake lights until my eyes bleed over being waited on by stewardesses with arms full of those tiny little liquor bottles? Nope. It’s more because I couldn’t pony up the $700 plane fare ... plus baggage fee, pillow and blanket fee, meal and drink fee and God knows what else they whack you for these days. I’m a journalist for Pete’s sake ... not an employee of the Adirondack Park Agency. Soooo, I plan to make the best of it, which is where the whole “enjoy the ride” philosophy comes into play. Actually, it is a mindset I have long subscribed to. Perhaps it has something to do with the deep psychological scars that linger from my childhood, left by my dad’s refusing to stop the car for a single bathroom break during the entire 22-hour trip we took to Florida each year. “We’ve still got a quarter-tank of gas, can you hold out
Pictured is Kevin Noordenbos, the son of guide Ernie Noordenbos who I will soon be bow hunting with in Manitoba. Kevin, who is disabled, took this big 9-point in 2008 in the archery-only area where I’ll be hunting. It scored 163 inches.You can follow my adventure on my blog at www.denpubs.com.

Going Wild in Westport
L
ast week, on a cold and rainy evening, I traveled to Westport to attend a Keeping Track Wildlife Event at Floral Hall on the Essex County Fairgrounds. The event, hosted by the Champlain Valley Conservation Partnership, drew a large crowd. In the coolness of the early evening, trackers, wildlife enthusiasts, hunters hikers, paddlers and birders gathered to listen to renowned tracker and wildlife expert Sue Morse. I was surprised and pleased to note that the group consisted of nearly as many children as adults. I’ve always believed that youngsters make wonderful trackers. They are observant, naturally inquisitive and physically, located a bit closer to the ground than most adults. Additionally, children love the sense of adventure that comes with discovery. As the crowd filtered in, they encountered a room lined with tables that featured numerous hands-on displays of animal pelts, skulls, feet, track molds, mounts and other natural items. Each section offered something of interest, from stumps and limbs that bore signs of mice knawing, beaver chews and bear claws to a collection of pelts, track casts, including a full body mount of a wolverine, which curiously looked a small bear, with white stripes. The displays allowed visitors the opportunity to see, touch and feel the pelts, scat, skulls and tracks cast that had been collected from a wide range of North American birds and animals. Local wildlife experts, guides and other outdoors men and women manned the displays to help interpret the wares. The kids were enthralled, and the adults became kids again.

I can still picture him standing at the rear of our panelsided station wagon, hair all disheveled, stuffing enough food and drink in the back to last through a Sammy Davis Jr. telethon. “We’ve got a schedule to keep,” he’d say, slamming the huge swinging door at the tail of the Queen Family Truckster and glaring hard at his oversized wrist watch. And then, inevitably, would come the million dollar question: “Okay now, does anyone need to use the bathroom?” I still wet myself a little when I say that sentence aloud. “Uhmmmmm ... no, not really, dad,” I’d say, staring blankly at the ground with my hands behind my back, grinding the toe of one shoe in the sand. “Well, try anyway,” he’d holler, glaring so hard at you it all but made peeing impossible anyway. “I don’t want to hear you’ve got to go an hour into this trip.” An hour? We all knew better. It was next step North Carolina. The man had an iron bladder, I swear. Anyway, back to the Manitoba story, which was my motivation for this column in the first place. Honest.

Ms. Morse jump-started the program by silencing the crowd with a “spot on call” of a red fox. The fox call, amplified by a loudspeaker system, certainly got everyone’s attention and the slide show kept it. Despite the damp, cold evening, few people stirred until the show ended. “I am simply an observer,” she explained. “The land is the teacher!” However, it was obvious that she knew her business, as slide after slide revealed her intimacy with wildlife. It was also interesting to note that, beyond being a professional tracker, photographer and wildlife interpreter, she is also an avid hunter and recently enjoyed an expedition for caribou in northern Quebec. With quick wit and an occasional turkey call, Morse kept the audience’s attention especially when she focused on catamounts, panthers and mountain lions. Morse has been involved in numerous studies researching mountain lions in the west. A tangible buzz hit the room as she explained that, “In my opinion, the Adirondacks provide the ideal habitat for the restoration of mountain lions in the eastern United States. Who knows, but they may already be here.” The event was sponsored by the Champlain Valley Conservation Partnership (CVCP), with partners that included the Northeast Wilderness Trust, Champlain Area Trails, the Adirondack Council, Champlain National Bank, Dogwood Bread Company, and outdoor guide and writer Elizabeth Lee. CVCP is a program of Champlain Area Trails (www.champlainareatrails.com) that works with others to connect people to nature through a system of hiking and skiing trails that link local communities to protect habitat and scenic vistas, and promote economic vitality. A major focus of Morse’s work with Keeping Track entails teaching interested citizens about detecting animal uses of habitat near their communities and ways to conserve local wildlife. Currently, CVCP, in conjunction with Keeping Track, Inc., have plans to develop a network of trained, wildlife observers throughout the Champlain Valley to monitor the long-term stewardship of wildlife habitat. The group intends to host a training session in the near future and interested parties are welcome to apply. Typically, the training entails a six-day, in the field-training workshop, plus two classroom sessions. Participants are taught a scientifically based data collection methodology in the form of track and sign surveys. During the training, the following issues are addressed: detection and interpretation of tracks and bow hunt in Minnedosa, Manitoba, just east of Saskatchewan. I chose Manitoba for a host of reasons, but mainly because of the plethora of large whitetail combined with almost nonexistent hunting pressure. In a province the size of Texas, only 3,400 bow permits are issued every year — that’s resident and non-resident combined. And, the rate of harvest is 40 percent, which is nearly unheard of in the U.S. I also fell in with a great guide who supports and gives discounts to people with physical limitations. The fact that both he and his son are disabled no doubt has everything to do with that fact. I plan to have a camouflage laptop with me and will be chronicling the hunt from my tree stand as it unfolds. Again a slight exaggeration, but I will be giving daily reports and taping portions of the hunt which will be posted to my blog at www.denpubs.com. Just click on “Extra!Extra!” in the top bar, pull down to blogs and click on Outdoor Tales. Now if I can just get Mike to watch “Easy Rider” before we go and talk him into a half dozen pit stops along the way, I should be golden. No pun intended.
